A few days ago I realized I didn't have enough space to post my final journal post the way I wanted to, and that is to have all the previous entries linked (that alone used over 9000 characters), so I thought I could use the lonely Excalibur forums to post those links and redirect there from my blog.
However, it didn't seem too fair to just go to my empty World section and post something for my own blog, so I thought to do it here, as maybe others may find some of the posts useful.

Being a lore-interested adventurer, I've followed the 7th Umbral Era from the very beginning, documenting all the events I participated so that I could read them again anytime. There should be all of them, including the rare encounter with the GM-controlled Nael van Darnus and the other random spawning NPCs (I particularly enjoyed the first battle against the cultists of the Lambs of Dalamud and the Reward that followed).

If you're an adventurer/ress who missed the beautiful storyline of the 7th Umbral Era, in the red posts linked above, there's my whole Lore Journey. It's a round-up of the story, yes, but it was lived in first person, so there are also my theories and the screenshots of important dialogues (if you just want to read a short round-up, there's the official one made by a community rep).

That's it. Thanks, forum, for this space, and I hope other adventurers will find those lore entries useful.


I'll end this post with one of the photos I'm most attached: the first time I arrived in Coerthas and my Explorer's Spirit brought me to Gwyr-Aen, that I discovered to be the best place to have the sunsets' rays dazzle me in that region.
Lastly, since I've some matters to take care of and have to go in cryo-sleep in this timeless rift, I would like to thank for the last time the whole Square Enix development team, for all those Adventures above that I could have; the community reps, who forward the requests posted here; and the voidsents of the LOC Team who did an awesome job, often also throwing lore bombs here to fill our thirst.

I care to say that despite the original harsh critics from the masses, I was one of the few adventurers who proudly enjoyed my time in Eorzea since the very beginning, completely immersing myself in the world while traveling the gorgeous landscapes of Hydaelyn, that proved a Great amusement also in some difficult occasions when I needed some relax.
While in the past days I was reading again my journal entries of over 2 years, I could furtherly confirm from my enthusiasm:

“Hey, I really had a GREAT Time!”

Sincere thanks for creating this fantastic world. Au revoir!

Very cool!!

It'll take me a bit to make it through all but its really great you shared - and I like them so far. Plus all the pictures..

Sometimes I've got the patience of a baby chigoe. Pictures appreciates

Hope to see you continue in ARR, perhaps you've given me the energy to try my hand at the lodestone once 5 years Erozean time has passed.

Farewell Onizuka, and may you never come back to the Miner's Guil-

Eh, your always welcomed to the miners guild! Just make sure the boss doesn't see you at least.
